Let's get married
A beautiful, down-to-earth location for weddings, events and tailored accommodation. Off the main road between Napier and Taupo.
A versatile, open venue
Lots of seating both indoors and outdoors, a feature handmade timber pergola built with locally grown timber, a wood fired oven, an indoor dancefloor, a commercial kitchen, plenty of car parking - there's even a ping pong table. We're able to accommodate most weddings and events so if you're wondering whether we can handle your's, feel free to ask. The venue is best suited to weddings and receptions of up to 70 people, and can be hired for an entire weekend.
Terrific views, calm environment
The venue faces the Mohaka River, which is about a 500m walk away. Mountains and forest provide the backdrop in all directions. It's intimate, but really spacious in an open environment as well.
This is your time and we're here to help you make it truly special. If we can help, we absolutely will so if you have something in mind we've not mentioned here, just ask. Everyone has different ideas for their special day. Enjoy the place just for the day, the weekend, or even the week. There's no harm in asking.
Weddings are a great time to bring people together. It may be a good time to hold a family reunion before or after a wedding. It may also be a neat time to get together with your friends for a hen or stag event pre-wedding. For these and other such occasions be sure to speak with us about what you have in mind. As well as having the facilities and accommodation for such events, we have a range of activities available onsite or on nearby surrounds for some really fun times with your friends. For the girls: take a sgraffito pottery class here onsite or one of the various other crafts we do here. For the boys: try rafting, knife making or even some fishing or hunting. If you have something else in mind you feel we might be able to offer, just ask.
Within a few hundred metres of the venue are numerous cabins and chalets for guests to stay in. Also, we can make available plenty of great camping spaces for your guests - we can even provide and pitch all the tents. We're currently renovating our chalets so depending when you book, you might get some newly renovated ones.
Inside the commercial kitchen we can provide all of your catering. Also, we can do wood fired pizzas, barbecues, or most menus really, so if you have something special in mind just ask. You're most welcome to bring in outside caterers though if you prefer.
We have a terrific flower arranger onsite who can arrange all the flowers.
And Tahlia our resident songbird may even be available to sing a special song or two for the bride.
